    What’s the Engels song all about? Sounds like a Haka.

    Feel bad having to google it to see what songs they are. Tommy Burns would have been disgusted by it.

    NEW YEAR MESSAGE

    As we begin a new year, Celtic maintains a dominant lead in the league while chasing another treble. However, this dominance on the pitch is sadly unmatched in the stands, prompting us to make this plea.

    In 2016, Celtic became the first club on these shores to reintroduce standing to top-flight football. The standing section brought a buzz to Celtic Park thanks to everyone contributing, revolutionising the atmosphere and advancing ultras culture across the country. As we approach 10 seasons of the standing section, its influence has unfortunately regressed. There are multiple reasons for this, some of which we take responsibility for as the ultras group leading the section. However, the responsibility to back the team sits with us all.

    As ultras, we introduced a different style of support in 2006 – one we continue because we enjoy it and believe it's effective. However, we appreciate that this style isn’t for everyone at all times; therefore, we are beyond the point of expecting 3,000 hands in the air, bouncing on the spot, swaying side to side, or doing the huddle – despite all being common in the early years of the standing section.

    We are therefore simply asking four things of you:
    • Sing, be vocal, back the team, and harass the opposition.
    • Clap along to songs to create more noise.
    • Stay until the team leaves the pitch to show your appreciation.
    • Keep your phone in your pocket, enjoy and contribute to the moment.

    In 2016, we introduced North Curve Celtic to bridge the gap between the Green Brigade and other fans in the standing section. This initiative has been successful, with visible achievements such as the murals in the concourse. However, NCC has also stagnated, hindered by restrictions and poor engagement from the club. Simply put, the board does not want a large, active fan movement but knows it cannot stop the evolution of fan culture.

    Celtic Park is on the brink of a transition. The stadium needs to be refreshed—facilities, tickets, and culture. A unified, goal-end standing section is the solution to many frustrations, and season ticket holders have backed the concept through the recent fan survey. While exciting, it may take years to achieve. Until then, we must focus on supporting the team from our current area.

    As always, we thank everyone for your continued support with what we do, including for our various social projects. Everything we do is made possible by your support. We wish you all a happy and healthy new year.

    UNTIL THE LAST REBEL

    Don’t show this to Frank McCallum. He would have palpitations at this.

    Thought the atmosphere was excellent last night.

    There was a 20 minute nervy spell from the majority of the crowd second half but last 15 * roared the team to victory.

    All the sad cases who sit scrolling social media the whole day to see some action so they can give it billy big bollocks will be bitterly disappointed as usual. What a waste of a day/night for them haha. I’m sure they’d have been a few arrests made but that’s fairly normal at high profile games.

    On the pitch we gave them a good run
    In the terraces the volume was amazing
    Whoever tossed the pyro onto the pitch was an idiot.....and drunk or not, if there is a ban as a result, then his pals should be looking a few free rounds as compo.....

    Everyone knew that pyro would have consequences, but hey. Potentially no away fans in a knockout tie all so you can be rebellious.

    Way to go, well worth it.

    Heard the groups gave a drunk guy a flare before the game and told him to throw it on the pitch.
